Where does Puma log to

ruby logging webserver thin puma

I have been using Thin to run my ruby Sinatra applications but I am now switching over to Puma. Thin creates its own log log/thin.log which I use. I noticed that Puma doesn't produce a log file (not that I can see). I have tried googling for documentation around this but not really found anything.

I was wondering if/how you can specify a log path in Puma.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Check the example config.rb as recommended on the repo's README.

As shown there:

# Redirect STDOUT and STDERR to files specified. The 3rd parameter
# (“append”) specifies whether the output is appended, the default is “false”.


stdout_redirect '/u/apps/lolcat/log/stdout', '/u/apps/lolcat/log/stderr'
stdout_redirect '/u/apps/lolcat/log/stdout', '/u/apps/lolcat/log/stderr', true
